Chorus:

You got me smilin'

Again you

Got me smilin again

Smilin'

Again you

Got me smilin', again

Rhyme 1:

One night of pleasure nine months of pain

Three days later and that's when you came

Two arms two legs ten fingers ten toes

Brown eyes like mom, with your grandmothers nose

Even though you're momma's baby

And daddy's little baby

My love is unconditional to one of us is swayze

Day or night, roll the light

No matter what you do,

Like the jackson 5 said I'll be there for you coz

My life is your life and your life is mine

To thinkin'en I'm your friend 'til the end of time

I'll make sure you get your props

You can call me pops

And anything you need I'll pull it out of the stops

Even though we're not together like we used to be

D a d d y, you can count on me

Coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then

I take a look into your eyes and then smile again

Chorus

Rhyme 2:

Forget about batman, superman and the power rangers

Coz i'ma be your hero if you ever in some danger

This ain't the hustarone and my name ain't cliff

No matter how old you get you could get that ass whipped

Daddy don't take no mess

And I ain't gone settle for nothing less than your very best

When I do what I do coz you did what you did

It's coz I ain't the kind of father that be raising no dum-ass kids

You gosta be a leader, it's my responsiblity to teach ya

Right from wrong, and make decisions of your own

I never said that I was perfect

But I know that you're worth it so

I'ma do my damnest to make sure you get some chances

So just listen to your daddy coz he tryin to tell ya something

And don't let nobody tell ya I don't love ya coz they frontin'

Coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then

I take a look into your eyes and then smile again

Chorus

Rhyme 3:

Every day is a struggle when life is like a puzzle

That we gotta put together

Together so and ever

You need a shoulder to cry on and someone you can rely on

Your daddy's home

I'm tryin'a build a foundation on which you could stand

When you's a grown woman and you's a grown man

I got open ears when the world ain't tryin' hear

When I can't be there in the flesh I be there in the spir-it

I'm tryina make an impression on the things that you care for

The knowledge that I give, you could teach your kids

I know it's hard growing up coz I used to be a youngsta

So we don't work as a team, saw the liquor take us under

People let me tell ya about my best friends

Coz I'm down with the children all the way 'til the end

Coz when I'm feelin' down every now and then

I take a look into their eyes and then smile again

Chorus+ fadeout
